It is a beautiful thing,” says Maricristin Sealey, “to craft a doll with your own hands, sew it together with love, then make a gift of it to your child with the words, ‘I made this for you!'”

This comprehensive, well illustrated book will give even the most nervous beginner the confidence to produce a unique, handcrafted toy from natural materials. Once you have mastered the basic baby dolls, you can progress to a more ambitious limbed or jointed doll.

Here are:

• Ten designs including soft, baggy, pouch, angel, sack and limbed dolls
• Instructions for knitted, sewn and embroidered hairstyles
• Lots of patterns for dolls’ clothes and accessories
• Help with tools, techniques and materials
• Ideas for recycling clothing for dollmaking
• Where to get materials.

This new edition of Making Waldorf Dolls is published with a completely revised resource list.

Maricristin Sealey is a professional doll maker, who has many years’ experience of teaching children and adults how to make dolls. Her dolls draw on a rich variety of traditions.
